More Than a Tin - It’s a Tradition
Our dabbas are inspired by the dabbawalas of Mumbai - an incredible network of couriers who’ve delivered home-cooked lunches across the bustling city for over a century.
Each day, they carry thousands of stacked metal tins (dabbas) from kitchens to offices with near-perfect precision - no tech, just teamwork.
We honour that legacy with every DabbaDrop delivery:
home-style meals packed with care, delivered in reusable tins, and made to nourish both people and planet.
About Us
We’re Anshu & Renée – and we believe curry can change the world!
We started DabbaDrop because takeaway curry was broken. Too oily, too wasteful, and never as nourishing as it should be. We knew there was a better way - one that honoured the food we grew up with, and the planet we want to protect for our kids.
So we reimagined curry night.
Inspired by the dabbawala system of Mumbai and rooted in the bold, soulful dishes of South and Southeast Asia, DabbaDrop is here to make curry the most joyful, waste-free way to eat. Every dish is slow-cooked with love, packed into reusable dabbas, and delivered straight to your door.
Our mission? To bring heritage recipes to modern homes - without plastic trays, preservatives or faff. Just bold flavour, real care, and a ritual worth keeping.
This is food that fills your belly and your heart. A pause in a hectic week. A reason to gather, to exhale, to savour.
From our kitchen to yours -
Dinner is served.
With love,
Anshu & Renée x
